We will be closed from December 23 through January 3, 2025, due to the Christmas and New Year vacations. We will resume our normal business activities on January 6, 2025. Thank you for your understanding.
Fork extensions are used in various situations to enhance the versatility of forklifts. They are ideal for handling loads that exceed the length of standard forklift forks, such as long pipes, lumber, or oversized pallets. These extensions are particularly useful in warehouses, construction sites, and manufacturing facilities where operators occasionally need to transport longer items.
The use of add-on sleeves should be carefully considered due to the extra time required for installation, the need to fetch and return them, and their significant weight, which can cause injury. It’s important to evaluate these factors to ensure safe and efficient operations. Proper handling and awareness of the potential risks are essential when using sleeves to avoid accidents and maintain productivity.

A forklift fork must support an extension sleeve for 66% of its length to ensure stability and safety during lifting operations. This level of support helps prevent the sleeve from bending or detaching under the weight of the load, reducing the risk of accidents or damage to the forklift and the goods being handled.
If the load is longer than the forklift forks, there is a risk that the load will tip forward. Therefore, the operator must drive very slowly and carefully. In this case, extension tubes can be quickly installed by sliding them over the existing forks and securing them with a pin.
The add-on sleeves are useful and practical only if they are used a few times a week. If the forks need to be extended every day, it is better to opt for KOOI® manual ReachForks.
Manual slip-on fork extensions are attachments that slide over existing forklift forks to extend their length, allowing for the handling of longer or oversized loads.
To install, simply slide the extensions over the existing forks and secure them using the locking pin to ensure they stay in place during use.
They provide a cost-effective solution for occasionally handling longer loads, improving the forklift’s versatility without requiring permanent modifications.
Yes, it’s important to ensure the extensions are properly secured and to be aware of their weight to avoid injury. Proper training and safety checks are essential.
They are ideal for applications where longer loads are infrequent, such as handling pipes, lumber, or oversized pallets in warehouses, construction sites, and manufacturing facilities.
